Getting creative with lighting.

The reception was heading to an end and I was packing up all my gear, I started to walk outside and saw the rain coming down within the light beams of the car pulling up outside, I then looked down and saw a clear umbrella leaning up against the wall and instantly got an idea! 

I grabbed one of my speed lights out of my bag and then ran over to the bride and groom, I asked if it was ok to get one last shot, they said sure! We went outside the barn, I gave the groom the speed light and told him to point it up facing  the umbrella, I got back took the shot and then bam! I couldn't believe what just happened! It worked! I was yelling inside my head! lol 

I ran up to the bride and groom with excitement and showed them this image, they became just as amazed as I was!! All it took was a just few minutes and a little thinking to create what I thought was one of the most epic wedding day images that I have ever taken!
